## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by Durham County Council, resulted in the awarding of a "Framework High Level Electrical Lighting and Power Works" contract. The process concluded with Durham County Council acting as the buyer, and John Cullerton and Sons Limited along with Harvey Electrical Services (Northern Limited) being appointed as suppliers. This framework agreement, classified under construction work, spans multiple regions across the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, and others. The contract commenced on 1st March 2026 with the potential to extend the agreement for two additional one-year periods, ending at the latest on 29th February 2030. The procurement method was noted as "Below threshold - unknown", and the process is in the award stage as per the latest date noted on 5th March 2026.

This framework offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specializing in electrical and power works, primarily suited for small and medium enterprises capable of serving public authorities across various regions in the UK. The appointment of two main contractors onto the framework suggests an opportunity for competitive call-offs, which may include evaluations based on price and quality, encouraging price competitiveness and high standards in service delivery. Businesses participating have the potential to work with Durham County Council and other contracting authorities under service level agreements, providing a platform to expand operational footprints across significant parts of the UK. The lack of guaranteed work volume within the framework emphasizes the importance of delivering competitive bids and maintaining service quality to secure contracts.
